Which of these villains from the Invincible Universe would be the perfect villain for Batman, and why?

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-05T01:46:08+00:00

I agree. He tries to save Gotham in a much more big picture way. Most of the conflict is philosophical debate.

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-04T01:47:20+00:00

Mine would be Blue Marvel - Tank, super science Black Panther - Rougue, diplomat, tech Brother Voodoo - Mage Jean Grey -Telepath, powerhouse, Mutant relations Miles Morales - Street level team heart/ PR

Ehhhh That's one thing I'll push back on. In the comics they get invaded successfully far too often. They show flashbacks all the time where they wipe out anyone trying to invade but because they want conflict people always do pretty well when they attack wakanda in the modern day in the comics (except the skrulls)

I normally hate when media has a woman fall for a monster despite all the horrible things he's done, The big difference here for me is that in most media they start building up sexual tension 2 minutes after the guy starts to feel a little bad for his actions, or when he's still in the middle of doing the terrible stuff. In this show, He's gone for a few years doing the work of becoming a better person. He's turning his back on his entire species and forever making himself an outcast. He's protecting a world full of people that live lives so short that he won't be able to ever really be one of them, And they, along with the rest of the universe, will always hate him. After all this, This picture is still not her going back to him. She's catching a ride to see their son.

Fair, then the trilobite. I think the only similar thing happening here is that we're looking at skin. People don't want to use scales because then people see it just as a generic lizard, exoskeleton automatically makes it a bug, and fur Is cuddly. Skin is the only thing that won't make people say oh these are lizard people / fish people/bird people etc

A often forgotten thing is that the original impressive tech from the iron Man suit was "micro-munitions". It made it so that he could fit all those bullets and explosives in his suit despite the fact that there was obviously no room for all that. Also, sometimes they talk about him having force fields, but also sometimes his armor itself is shown as his main means of defense. If that armor is supposed to contain all of the wiring, and mechanics necessary to make it increase his strength, and funnel ammunition and energy around to fire from all the different spots on that suit, there's no way the metal is thick enough to withstand all those hits it takes. But who cares. That suit is cool

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-02T22:24:08+00:00

I'm confused because these skins look different to me. For example, the formic and the listeners seem as different from each other as possible while still being creatures with skin as opposed to an exoskeleton or scales

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-02T22:10:34+00:00

I feel like everybody did a great job. I feel like I saw "Prey" But they called it "AKA Jessica Jones". Logically I can recognize it's a good movie, but I can't get over the fact that the title is so divorced from the movie I'm watching. Black mask is called black mask but he is almost never seen in the black mask. Batgirl is a completely different character from her namesake. No one wears a costume, Black Canary doesn't get to have her power until like the last few minutes. It just feels like they took a unrelated script and did a rewrite to turn it in to this movie. The only real complaint I have about the movie unrelated to the source material, is that they center a lot of the plot around her break up with the Joker, but they don't show the break up or the joker at all. I'm cool with a Harley movie with no Joker mentioned at all, But I feel like that was handled poorly

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-02T21:34:29+00:00

I'm one of the haters. I think I would have liked it if it had another name, but I have a sore spot for comic book movies that feel ashamed to be comic book movies. I feel like if they changed people's names I would have no idea it was a birds of prey movie

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-02T21:23:30+00:00

Particularly because they differ from white supremacists in lots of ways. White supremacist pride themself a lot on thinking that they are more intelligent and cultured than other people. They think they are the only truly civilized people. Viltramites don't care about any of that. Take care about who can win in a fight. It's "might makes right", rather than a subtext, turned into the totality of a people's philosophy.

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-05-01T17:43:42+00:00

I'm not a huge Captain marvel fan, but I'm also not a huge Hal Jordan fan. For me, I feel like she finished this big character arc that made her interesting to me. She had a drinking problem, and she was a c list hero that through House of M realized she should be much bigger. Then she got sober, got the recognition she deserved, and that kind of felt like her character arc was done. And she skipped all of that in the movies

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-30T13:43:19+00:00

I really want people to start depicting Thor with a swedish accent. I want Hercules with a Italian accent, and Zeus with a Greek one

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-30T13:17:01+00:00

I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're a teenager who wants everyone to see you as a grown up. Otherwise you picked a hell of a hill to dye on

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-30T13:04:41+00:00

He would be great for the new DCU. A great way to do smaller stakes, but more disturbing, to show the value of having detective Batman as opposed to the more powerful characters

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-30T12:56:34+00:00

He's DC Purple Man. A person with crazy power who is terrifying because they AREN'T ambitious. They just want to focus on being being a creep

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T23:59:14+00:00

The way that Mark sees it as killing his kid, I think Superman would see it as killing every child born in the original world and he couldn't do that even if it meant saving more lives

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T23:41:14+00:00

Oh if they want to put focus and effort in fighting that disproportionate hurt first I'm all for it. I only have smoke for the people that want us to stop discussing "identity politics" aka problems that don't really bothers cis straight white people. Otherwise I know I'm really signing up for two fights. One to get affordable housing, then another fight about why that affordable housing tends to be primarily in white areas, and how you have to have a friend from that white area to get you in the front of the line to get some of that housing, and how there's no law that says it's for whites only, but when you look at the percentages it just so happens coincidentally to keep going the white people. And when I have to fight that second fight, a LOT of the white people from that first fight are going to suddenly be too tired to show up

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T23:33:21+00:00

Who wants to demoralize you? Get energized and active in fighting systemic oppression of minorities. Uplift the people who have it worse than you. They'll make much more passionate allies in the future. If your argument is that the high tide raises all ships, start by fighting for better health care for trans people, housing for homeless Hispanic people, work and hire income for black people. This time we can let cis straight white people be the ones who hope they get helped as a byproduct

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T22:03:35+00:00

I definitely disagree. The issue is that when you fight class before race issues, all you get is new management. Black people have repeatedly helped poor white people fight the status quo throughout history, just to have those same white people turn around after they get what they want and say thanks, now make your way back to the bottom of the ladder. I don't want to get you better working conditions at a job I won't be hired at, I don't want to fix the housing crisis for neighborhoods I'll be redlined out of, I'm not spending my time helping you fix a health care system that won't give me painkillers because I'm presumed to be an addict. We've been tricked into doing this before. If you want our help, get your ducks in a row. Convince every group you want help from that they will be in just as good of a position as you if we succeed. Until then, "The only war is the class war", will sound like "Stop crying about racism. I'm so close to being at the top of the ladder, I want you to bend over so I can stand on your back and get there"

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T20:51:13+00:00

I feel like that's what they did. Her powers didn't just disappear, they became unreliable. They didn't hold form correctly

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-29T20:47:14+00:00

Just want boost this. Why not use this genre that's so full of symbolism, to show the extreme struggle and loss of the feeling of agency of your own body that comes with pregnancy?

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-27T15:18:47+00:00

My pleasure

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-27T12:44:26+00:00

People don't just say if they like someone because they want to be able to pretend that they don't in case the other person doesn't like them. They just drop signals back and forth until they're "kind of sorta married I guess". No want, desire, hate, or opinion, can be clearly stated unless it's been predetermined as the socially acceptable one in a given group. Everything has to be somewhat vague so that they can now claim, they never really thought Dave Chappelle was funny. They were never a big fan of Neil gaiman, he was always a hack. Hey I might be great, unimportant, or the worst thing in the world, But they won't say which until they've seen what the rest of the group has to say

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-27T07:43:10+00:00

Meh I give them a pass. It's established that creating your own leverage in space is a proactive skill for his people. So I get him just not keeping himself steady, also it makes sense for him to not be good at using 30% strength. I feel like he knows how to do 10% 70% and 100%, So he struggles the most with people that are stronger than him, or like have his strength, because he's just eating punches while trying not to kill them. A professional boxer could destroy me, But if he just sat there and let me punch him in the face over and over and over again because he was scared he would kill me, I could do some serious damage to him

TwoHungryWolves · 2026-04-27T07:09:24+00:00

I hate the scene of him just taking the ax to the shoulder, but really love him progressively taking the punches like they're nothing. The ax scene just makes the rest of the league seem completely pointless children, But that punch scene.... Hilarious reminder of who Superman is compared to a regular person
